Have you ever really wanted something? Desired it? Yearned for it? Felt it within your capacity to reach and as quickly as it was there, it disappeared into nothingness.
You ache for it. It is just as real to you as something you possessed. You feel the loss of potential. Unrealized expectations. It is not even a memory, but an impression of what could have been.
It is rarely things that fall into this category. Rather, it is things that hold more value. These are the crushes, friendships, lovers, and dreams.
Why do we feel pain for that which we have never had? Is it a sign of weakness? Or is it that part of us that is consciously seeking more? More love. More value. More worth.
Is it this ache, then, that keeps us from reaching? After time, is the accumlated ache to much for us to overcome? Does it burden us so deeply that we stop yearning for that new dream, that next love?
But who am I to ponder this? Just another casuality? Do I have the courage to stand and face that desire head on, and actually feel it in my grasp? Or will I watch it disappear into nothingness. Another dream drifted.
